When you think about the 2-to-3 hundred thousand years of human history (give or take as few thousand) it’s pretty simple to overlook that for 99.9% of that time we lived on very much the same clock. Internal Biological Clock that is…
With our biology ebbing and flowing with the day-night cycles of the sun. Hunting, gathering, socializing & innovating while it was up, and sleeping when it wasn’t. As a byproduct we human, and all primates dating back millions of years had their biological function optimized around theses daily cycles.
What could go wrong, right? Enter modern-day and the rapid onslaught of technology, which has flipped ALL these deeply ingrained evolutionary norms straight on their head. A 24/7 world, filled with unlimited ultra processed snacks, artificial light and on-demand digital connection, for the first time ever allowing us intelligent walking apes to stay connected without ever leaving the confines of our room.
New norms, which in-turn have disrupted our innate internal body clock and forced unnatural acts upon the way our body was programed to operate. As a result, placing extra stress on our cellular and metabolic self, driving dysfunction and ultimately… Disease.
Some of which being UN-REVERSIBLE….Like the chronic loss of neurons up in our 5lb mushy membrane…
Yikes is right! But before you get too worried, there are in fact ways to get ahead of this dysfunction and right your biological ship before it gets lost…
